V4L/DVB (5400): Core: fix several locking related problems

2007-03-27T11:45:54Z

Fix several instances of dvb-core functions using mutex_lock_interruptible and returning -ERESTARTSYS where the calling function will either never retry or never check the return value. These cause a race condition with dvb_dmxdev_filter_free and dvb_dvr_release, both of which are filesystem release functions whose return value is ignored and will never be retried. When this happens it becomes impossible to open dvr0 again (-EBUSY) since it has not been released properly.

V4L/DVB (5244): Dvbdev: fix illegal re-usage of fileoperations struct

2007-02-21T15:35:31Z

Arjan van de Ven reported an illegal re-usage of the fileoperations struct if more than one dvb device (e.g. frontend) is present. This patch fixes this issue. It allocates a new fileoperations struct each time a device is registered and copies the default template fileops. Signed-off-by: Marcel Siegert Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

V4L/DVB (5208): Kthread API conversion for dvb_frontend and av7110

2007-02-21T15:35:20Z

dvb kernel_thread to kthread API port. It is running fine here, including module load/unload and software suspend (which doesn't work as expected with or without this patch :). I didn't convert the dvb_ca_en50221 as I do not have such an interface, but if the conversion process is fine with the v4l-dvb maintainers, it should not be a problem to send a patch for that too ...

[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h

2007-02-14T16:09:54Z

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

V4L/DVB (4972): Dvb-core: fix bug in CRC-32 checking on 64-bit systems

2006-12-27T16:19:10Z

CRC-32 checking during ULE decapsulation always failed on x86_64 systems due to the size of a variable used to store CRC. This bug was discovered on Fedora Core 6 with kernel-2.6.18-1.2849. The i386 counterpart has no such problem. This patch has been tested on 64-bit system as well as 32-bit system.

[PATCH] Add include/linux/freezer.h and move definitions from sched.h

2006-12-07T16:39:27Z

Move process freezing functions from include/linux/sched.h to freezer.h, so that modifications to the freezer or the kernel configuration don't require recompiling just about everything.
